Recently the small friends leave a message to see the maintenance of shoes, so today we will talk about several types of shoe maintenance. Since ancient times, there has been a "clothes-based clothing on gold" , clothing has always been the basis for us to create a beautiful shape, so we will pay special attention to maintenance issues, cleaning, drying, ironing and so on can not be less. But the so-called people first look at shoes, in fact, shoes are also an important part of the whole modeling. Therefore, in addition to the maintenance of clothing, a clean pair of shoes is also extremely necessary.
For every stylish man, there may be a pair of shoes at your feet from time to time, but you can't have just one pair of shoes in your shoe closet. In the face of a variety of shoes, they also have their own characteristics, workmanship, materials are not the same, so there are different maintenance issues of course. Today, we will introduce different ways to clean different types of shoes:
The suede shoe is the first to bring you to the most interesting style of footwear -- the Golden Suede shoe. It's true that the subtle fur lines of suede shoes shine in the sun like no other shoe, and they can be worn in a variety of styles, especially with a suit.
However, the delicate fur will also cause you trouble, many people choose to give up the main reason for suede shoes is too difficult to maintain. Elvis Presley once sang, "you can do anything but touch my blue suede shoes. " suede shoes are notoriously fragile, prone to scratches, scratches and stains, and not easy to clean, it's no wonder that many people feel the same way about elvis'lyrics.
There are different ways to take care of different types of shoe injuries. Generally speaking, there are three major problems in suede shoes, namely dust, scratches and stains. Here are the corresponding solutions:
TOOLS
Before a tool can be used, the first step is to select the right tool. The SUEDE is soft and clean with a special brush, usually using a soft brush we often say. If you buy suede shoes with care instructions, follow the manufacturer's advice.
There is a small point, I believe we all know the truth: Suede material must not touch water, dust and scratches must be kept dry.
Use a soft brush to gently remove the dust that accumulates on the surface of the shoe. Do not brush back and forth when you brush, but brush repeatedly along the grain of the fur in the same direction, so as not to make the grain of the upper look disorderly, the original Sheen of the suede upper is lost.
Repair scratches for scratches, the damage to suede shoes is even more serious. When a Suede shoe is scratched, the fuzz on the surface falls in one direction. Don't worry, just use a little force, brush back and forth with a soft brush, you can lift up the fuzz.
Scratches and stains that can not be removed with a brush can be removed with a special Chamois Eraser, with a little bit of force. If the scratch is too deep, you can also use a knife gently scrape, lift up the FUZZ.
Removing stains
The definition of a stain varies from product to product. For example, water is a great cleaning tool for other footwear, but it can be quite deadly for suede shoes. Unlike other stains, you should moisten the surface of the shoe before removing the water stain. After the soft brush is touched with water, brush lightly at the besmirch place of Vamp, remove original besmirch thereby.
Then use a sponge or dry towel (the one recommended here is a car towel) to soak up the excess moisture. Use a sponge or towel to gently press down on the surface of the shoe until there are no visible water stains.
After cleaning can be placed in shoes or paper ball, not only can play a role in absorbing excess moisture, but also to ensure that the shape of the upper.
After drying in a cool place, remember to brush again along the vamp texture with a dry soft brush to make sure that the stain is consistent with the rest of the texture.
Oil stain
Oil is also one of the most common stains in our lives. To clean up oil stains, first use a soft brush to remove the floating dust on the surface of the shoes, and then use a nail Polish brush dipped in warm water to brush away stubborn stains.
If the oil is still wet, it can be removed with cornstarch. Sprinkle cornstarch on the stain and let it sit overnight. The next day brush away the cornstarch and steam it with an iron.
Mud
There is also a common stigma in life -- The mud. Remove mud must wait for mud dry, otherwise it will only increase the contaminated area, increase the difficulty of cleaning.
Wipe off the excess mud first, but don't press it too hard, and then dry it in the sun. Once the mud is dry, the mud can be removed by hand, and then the remaining mud can be removed with a soft brush.
For Storage, if it has been left unused for a long time, wrap the suede shoes in a dry paper mold and place them in a shoebox. Keep away from light and moisture. Suede is prone to mildew in moist environment. Strong light will cause the Suede to fade.
